For anyone who wonders where an open-minded, ecumenical, tolerant appreciation of the world’s variety of religious experience has gone, here are the extraordinary documentary photographs of Joel Davidson. Working in both black-and-white and color, Davidson captures the human face of religious rituals, east, west, north and south, with consummate craft and deepest respect. Since 1995, he has traveled a large fraction of the world with his cameras in hand and has assembled a giant catalog of gorgeous images that somehow illustrate both how large and how small the world is.
